QUESTIONS FOR OUR STATE SENATOR.
Several SIatters that are of Interest
to the People of Troy.

Most Of us in this npiGhhorhond are firm be-
levers in the doctrine tnat ''public office is Il
public trust" and carries with IL a RESPONSE
biity to the people who confer it. Acting up
on this belief We ask the use of your columns
to PROFOUND few interrogations TO our Stale
Senator.
Will Mr.. Hemphil please tell us why the
name of Walter q. krllar was stricken from

than forty years has discharged the duties OF
Magistrate and Trial Justice acceptably to his
fellow citizens.
Again, Mr.. Il. A. NcCaslan has filled the Of
flee OF Trial Justice in this community for the
last ei"ht or ten years with rare Intelligence,
fidelity and imparliality. y petition signed
by more than sixty of our best citizens asked
his continuance.
Will you please nform MS why this petition
was ignored and q gentleman appointed vino,
1t is said. neither asked for nor desired the of
fee? In making this change were you
prompted by desire to promote the public
good, or was il because at our Senatorial cleo
tion four years ago Dir. McCaSlan voted for
John c. Maxwell, and Mr.. Cook for Robert r..
Hemphill?
Did you move in the Senate that one hun
dred and twenty-five thousand dollars be APP
proprated 10 carry on the work on the Col
umbia canal? If so, were you IN earnest?
Your constituents have q right to suppose
that you were, and that the Senator from old

question of SO much public interest with in.
telligence and dignity. and net be driven, to
say The least Of It, to take refuge under q ''sor-

books is destructive to christianity. II the
One-horse preacher may read such hooks ana

bcr read them even at the risk of his soul?
As Il preacher should not snil his prieStIy
robes by entering places Of sin and wicked

should not read the books which he dare not
commend To his hearers.

We learn that Captain Dwight will very
soon begin the survey from Chester towards
Abbevlle. The effort will be to get ms near as
possible an air line from Chester to Clinton.
It is now proposed to examine a new route
down Sandy River from Chester. We are also
informed that two corps will soon be at work
in Georgia. The matter Of the survey will
now be pushed forward as rapidly as possible
and 1t is very important that the rights OF
way should be obtained without delay. The
stockholders meet in Greenwood on Thurs
day the Goth. and 1t would be very satisfactory
to be able to report rs soDn rs practicable that
the rights of way have been secured between
this point and the Savannah River.
1t is hoped that contracts for grading will be
let by the early spring, and lucky will be that
section that gets the road.

Railroad Consultations.

We copy an editorial from the augusta
Chronicle which speaks rather despairingly OF
the railroad situation. If the Chronicle is cor
rect in its remarks. there will be another dis
turbance of commerce. The places which
have heretofore been competing points, will
no longer have competition, and those towns
which have been so much favored in the past.
will set no special favors in the future. Green
wood, Laurens, Spartanburg, Anderson and
other places which have had such wonderful
advantages will be denied the favortism in
the future, and each town will henccforlh get
Its own legitimate trade-and no more.

A Mfdni%hf Blaze.

About ten minutes past twelve o'clock
this morning an alarm of fire was rung
1t proved to be for fire in Chinese
store at the corner of Beretania and Pu-
nahou streets occupied by All Lee.
Mr.. G. o. Berger, who resides close
by telephoned to the Mutual Company's
office the exact location of the fire. Pa
cific Hose Company No. l reached the
scene of the fire first, followed quickly
by Engine Company No. 2. The latter
soon got on stream of water. When
they arrived there the building was
almost entirely consumed. All Lee was
unable to give the origin of the fire. He
thinks it started from the outside. He
managed to get his family out and save
a few things. There was no insurance
and All Lee estimates his loss at about
$4,000. Quite number Of people went
out to the fire.

THE THREE MAJORS.
They Appear 10 be Enjoying Them
selves, and have been Interviewed.

1t will be remembered that Majors
Parker, Cornwell and Hayley leftfor San
Francisco on the last trip of the Austria
liza. The San Francisco "Chronicle " of
| September 9th has the following:
The Hon Samuel Parker, Noble of the
Hawaiian Kingdom and ex-member Of
King Kalakauas Privy Council, who is
staying at the Palace Hotel on short
vacation from the political excitement in
Honolulu, was interviewed yesterday by
a Chronicle representative. This
magnificent specimen of the native race
of the island kingdom is as easy TO rec
ognize as the hotel clerk described when
he mentioned GA great big, double
chested, olive-complexioned giant, whose
laugh NAV be heard from the barToom to
apartment 765." Mr.. Parker wears the
appearance of laying himself out for the
enjoyment of his short holiday, and he
and his friend, William II. Cornwell, a
wealthy planter from Hawaii, appeared
to have got on the weather side of the
pool arrangements at the races, from the
great counting over of $40 gold pieces
going on when the reporter interrupted
them in their satisfactory occupation
with:
II should like to have a short CONVEX
sation with you, MIR. Parker, in regard to
the affairs of the Island when you left"
The twenties were suspiciously made
away with while Mr.. Parker disposed
himself in seat with the remark of
well, can give you no further infor-
nation than that set forth in the columns
of the paper you represent. If you are
posted on the Chronicles - Honolulu
correspondence you know as much about
the situation as | do" and here Mr..
Cornwell, who had joined the conclave,
expressed the same opinion.
''Of the principle article of the new
Constitution, which says that the King
shall not dabble in politics, is His Maj
esty really observing the restriction"
''He is, to the letter." replied Kala-
kaua's burly henchmen. "There should
be none more entitled to emphasize this
statement than our band of three, that
is, Mr.. Cornwell, Captain Hayley and
myself. The reason we are up here is,
that being on the personal staff of His
Majesty, and having considerable influ-
ence on the Islands, we would be sup
posed to exert it against the Reform
party. On the contrary, however, we
are in favor of better government, and
hence our vacation during the elections,
so that we cannot in any way be identi-
fed with the Opposition. Mr. Cornwell
and myself return in fortnight's time,
while Captain Hayley takes a four
months trip to England. I anticipate
no trouble over the elections which take
place next Monday, the 18th, and look
on my return to see the new order of
things firmly and peaceably estab-
lished"
